Need help locating a program on the JFK assassination from a few years back.
Presented as a documentary, I think it opened with a meeting of oilmen, intelligence community and politicians allegedly connected with the assignation, and allegedly that all wanted their shooters involved.
The plot included oilmen, CIA, mafia and multiple shooters on the route.
Program focused on the presence of G. H. W. Bush being in Dallas. Also detailed reasoning of what CIA wanted.
Gave detailed account of primary shooter being in water drain culvert along the route.
Have been searching Google and YouTube for several days. Could it have been scrubbed?
“JFK” is a 1991 American epic political thriller film written and directed by Oliver Stone. It examines the investigation into the assassination of John F. Kennedy by New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison, who came to believe there was a conspiracy to assassinate Kennedy and that Lee Harvey Oswald was a scapegoat.
The film’s screenplay was adapted by Stone and Zachary Sklar from the books On the Trail of the Assassins by Garrison and Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy by Jim Marrs. Stone described this account as a “counter-myth” to the Warren Commission’s “fictional myth”. JFK’s embrace of conspiracy theories made it controversial.[2] Many major American newspapers ran editorials accusing Stone of spreading untruths, including the claim that Kennedy was killed as part of a coup d’état to install Lyndon B. Johnson in his place.
Despite the controversy, JFK received critical praise for its performances, directing, score, editing, and cinematography. It gradually picked up momentum at the box office after a slow start, grossing over $205 million worldwide, making it the sixth highest-grossing film of 1991 worldwide. It was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and won two for Best Cinematography and Best Film Editing. It was the first of three films Stone made about American presidents, followed by Nixon (1995) and W. (2008).
“Executive Action”?
Try “America’s Untold Stories” on youtube.
Mark Groubert & Eric Hunley hosted dozens of youtube videos concerning the JFK assassination, including the unedited version of the Zapruder film.

H.W. wasn’t in Dallas.
GHW Bush made sure he called home to let everyone know he was in Tyler, Texas. He made that call 90 minutes after the assassination.
You can do the math regarding the distance from Tyler, Texas to Dealey Plaza!!
He was on the grassy knoll.
You can rent JFK on Amazon for under $3.00 or buy for a little more.
H.W. wasn’t in Dallas.
I will find it and send it to you but there is a video from when hw was older and he is laughing and saying he was in Dallas. I have posted it before.
Any other freepers can help me out with this??
If any figure had a reason to kill Kennedy, it was LBJ. He was being investigated for corruption. All that went away when JFK was killed.
Was the documentary called “The City of Hate?”
Untold Stories bump for later
LBJ had the classic means, motive and opportunity—but he needed help from many others.
Roger Stone has probably the best book on this topic:

” He made that call 90 minutes after the assassination.”
Source?
Yes, America’s Untold Stories is a good source of all things JFK.
Bush and his wife were in Tyler, Texas that day, surrounded by people at the Kiwanis Club and at the beauty parlor.
“Kiwanis former Vice President of the Kiwani’s club, Aubrey Irby, recalled the speech in an interview with a conspiracy author in a book:
“I remember it was a beautiful fall day,” recalled Aubrey Irby, the former Kiwanis vice president. “George had just started to give his speech when Smitty, the head bellhop, tapped me on the shoulder to say that President Kennedy had been shot. I gave the news to the president of the club, Wendell Cherry, and he leaned over to tell George that wires from Dallas confirmed President Kennedy had been assassinated.
“George stopped his speech and told the audience what had happened. ‘In view of the President’s death,’ he said, ‘I consider it inappropriate to continue with a political speech at this time. Thank you very much for your attention.’ Then he sat down.
Finally, George Bush’s wife, Barbara Bush, wrote down the events that unfolded in her memoir before and after the news that Kennedy was shot. She wasn’t at the club speech, but she was in Tyler, Texas that day and both of them boarded a plane to go to Dallas:
I am writing this at the Beauty Parlor, and the radio says that the President has been shot. Oh Texas — my Texas — my God — let’s hope it’s not true. I am sick at heart as we all are. Yes, the story is true and the Governor also. How hateful some people are.
The one you are thinking of is “Executive Action”, with Burt Lancaster.
I have driven from Downtown Dallas to Tyler in less than 90 minutes.
This link is from City Hall in Dallas to City Hall in Tyler. 92 minutes.
